The Munster Championship 2017 will be held from 22nd to 24th September 2017 in the West County Hotel,
Ennis. As usual it will be FIDE Rated and confined to players resident in or from Munster.
The Joe Browne Cup for Under 1500 rated players will be held at the same time.

League Rules Changes and EGM

At the 2017 AGM it was decided to reduce the number of teams in Division 1 to six from
next year onwards. As a result a number of rule changes need to be agreed at an EGM before
the new leagues start.

The EGM is scheduled for West County Hotel, Ennis at 7:30pm on 24th September after the
Munster Championship. Further details and Agenda are published
here.
